  1. Hello,
    On the two pictures below I noticed that the motors of the M1 volt are setup at the oposite side of the gimble.
    The setup on Photo N°1 seems more suitable for goofy (more room for the hand Under the gimble + easier to put on the shoulder for rest position)
    The setup on Photo N°2 seems better for regular ops
    Can we choose the side of the setup when we order the M1 Volt??
    Thanks

  2. Hello Damien,

    I received mine in January 2016 . I have had a few component issues with it at the begigning but Tiffen quickly made some upgrade to fix them.

    I am now very happy with my gear, it's solid !!! after two years it did not take any play ... and I have no vibration issues

    As it had be said on this forum the masses (battery/monitor) are incredibly easily adjustable

     

    A questionable point would be the tilt head which raises the camera a lot.
    and the top stage with the tilt option is quite heavy. But the tilt head remains a choice!!
    Something that I regret is that there is no adapter to use all the arm post with PRO GPI size/ to my knowledge for the moment there is only one lenght available
    (The gimbal handle is removable so why not made a handle that simply fit on pro arm/or machine a kind of ring reducer... Like that we could use any lenght size of PRO arm post)
    ​You can PM me if you want more details on my opinion or call me, I am also a french operator :-)
  3. Hi all,

    I own a steadicam M1 sled and a sachtler (Arri) arm so I am using the arm post adapter (5/8" to 3/4") sold by tiffen

    But I would like to use different size of arm post

    I already own different size post of 5/8"

    Does anyone know if there is some kind of ring we could put into the handle of the M1 gimbal to fit 5/8" arm post??

     

    ​Thanks

  4. Hello,

    I own a steadicam M1 sled and my idea would be to use a Tripodlokplate by Betz-Tools (to go fast from stead to tripod)

    and also to use a XCS standard plate instead of my tiffen dovetail plate (for the benefit of the 15mm holes for rods or tubes)

    do you think the XCS standard plate will fit on both Tripodlokplate by Betz-Tools & Steadicam M1 top stage?

    Does anyone tried Something similar and finaly does it sound a good idea??

     

    Thanks

  5. hello Chris,

    I also have a M1

    Do you try to follow the instruction in the manual in the drive knob ajustment section?

    You may just have to loosen the knob a bit.

    For your bumpy bearing it is possibly an other problem, i experienced something similar and the problem was solved with some upgrade pièces by tiffen.

  6. Hi all,

    I am selling 1 Anton Bauer G90(14.4volts 93WH)

    Battery unused in its original packaging.

    There is a sticker on the battery who says : This battery is shipped in storage mode. Place on charger to awaken

    (I don't know if only an Anton bauer brand charger would awaken it as I didn't try)

    The reason why I am selling it is that it doesnt fit on my new M1 steadicam as you can see on the attached picture

    the battery is too long and can not pass because of the clamp of the M1

    I bought four​ but the seller was willing to take back only three

    The battery cost me 278 euros

    make me a reasonable offer and it's yours

    You can P.M. me if you have any question

    Thanks

    (the battery is located in France)

  7. Hello,

    Can someone give us a return of experience on the use of the Alexa Studio on Steadicam ?
    Are there any special mounting plates for this camera ?
    I own the cam-jam.de bracket that attaches to the classical alexa, but by downloading the manual of the alexa studio this morning, it did not seem to attach the same way! did I wrong?
    Thanks.
